Famous quotes containing the words comparison and/or sorts:
“We teach boys to be such men as we are. We do not teach them to aspire to be all they can. We do not give them a training as if we believed in their noble nature. We scarce educate their bodies. We do not train the eye and the hand. We exercise their understandings to the apprehension and comparison of some facts, to a skill in numbers, in words; we aim to make accountants, attorneys, engineers; but not to make able, earnest, great- hearted men.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“You and I have two bodies, aye, very different sorts of bodies, but we’re closer than if we were in the same skin. For I saved that skin o’ yours once, and you’ll not forget it.”
—Philip MacDonald, and Robert Wise. Gray (Boris Karloff)
